Firstly, about the mallet throwing if i may (briefly). It might sound like it was a throw that Tessa Sanderson would be proud of, but i dont think in that split second i really meant to do it. I tried to shuffle (Lucas' odd) mallet handle a bit while hoping, in vain, to do a Stretch Armstrong. T'was a good save though and given it was the worst team playing the best team, i didn't expect such fame / shame from the incident.
Also i have done it before ...but will never do it again.
And onto seeding.
I don't see there's any harm in doing it - as it contributes to the inter person competitive spirit among competitive people but i'm not sure that in reality it would have a lot of bearing on tournament places / selection.
As a pretty uncompetitive type myself perhaps there could be the method by which people can lower themselves in the ranking throughout the 'season'. I happen to think that Matt is better than i am, so if 2 or 3 agree, then lets swap places. Could such 'friendly seeding' work or does that mess up the whole ethos? If seedings were used to determine tourny attendance, i wouldn't expect Matt to miss out in favour of me.
So, to close, i vote to keep seeding and when it comes to Tourny time, see who (of the better class of player) can make it and take it from there. Then let Dan decide :)
